1979 Ford Probe I Concept Navigation
The Probe I was a one-off prototype and the manifestation of Ford's expertise in aerodynamics in 1979. This car was built in Dearborn, Michigan, by Ford's design chief Don F. Kopka in conjunction with Carrozzeria Ghia and became the star of the 1979 Frankfurt Auto Show. The Probe was based on a Fox-body Mustang platform with a 105-inch wheelbase and a turbo-charged 2.3-liter four-cylinder 170-horsepower Mustang Cobra engine, wedged into the pointed nose and coupled with an automatic transmission. The thoroughly aerodynamic silhouette was the result of wind-tunnel testing and achieved a drag coefficient 37% lower than a typical contemporary two-door coupe. This car (OGHA RD PRB1 001) became known for its rear wheel spats, elongated rear deck, and impressive glass cabin, and although it never made it to production, the Probe heavily influenced Ford's future production cars.
